Hello Barend, thanks for the links. I've already downloaded GIS data for Romania from maproom and I'm quite impressed.
One more question, since I'm new with this: any recommendation for a tool to convert GIS to SVG (I've found quite a bunch but instead of testing them all I'd like to know user's experience with this). Thanks again.
